Partners in Project Green brings together like-minded organizations to discuss sustainability issues, share ideas and successes, and collaborate on green initiatives that create tangible value. Members devote time and resources to programs they find meaningful in four key areas: waste management; energy performance and low-carbon transportation; water stewardship; and communications and engagement.
In 2019, Partners in Project Green completed a comprehensive strategy refresh aimed at fostering continuous improvement, increased flexibility and accountability, and broader membership engagement. The new strategic outlook is more closely aligned with the goals and strategies of the GTAA, the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority, and municipal government partners.

One of the great advantages of being engaged with Toronto Pearson and Partners in Project Green is the ability to begin the dialogue towards a circular economy. And one of the central features of that is reduction and elimination of waste – from our businesses, from our communities, from society at large – ending this linear economy that we have had for all of our lives, and beginning the journey towards circularity.
